I have a 00 ex 5spd with a 55 shot (zex kit) Here's what i do. Before i start the race i will arm open the red cover for the switch. From the light i'll rev up to 4500 or whatever rpms and let the clutch halfway out. When the light turns green i'll slip the clutch and hit the gas until i hook up. As soon as i hook up i will flip the switch to ARMED and i will already bet at WOT so it'll start spraying (still in first) Just make sure you hook up on the launch and THEN start spraying. I got a 9.96 at the 1/8 which is like a 15.4 so i think u could make it into the high 15's.
